Office lighting in Boston
What we do in Boston: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Boston over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Boston
For office lighting in Boston we design to about 500 lux on desks, as BS EN 12464-1 suggests, and keep glare off screens by choosing the right optics rather than simply adding more light.
Meeting rooms are where Boston offices waste most light. Presence detectors that switch off after a set time pay back quickly in rooms that sit empty for half the day.
For Boston premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Boston FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Boston?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you remove the old fittings in Boston?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
How quickly can you survey in Boston?
Most surveys in Boston can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Can you work outside office hours?
Yes. Most office projects are done in the evening or at weekends, a zone at a time, so staff come back to a working floor.
